Annie Leonard: The story of stuff


This video it shows the process of stuff how it make and how it harm to people.
Annie explain life stages of a product, which are extraction,production,distribution,consumption and disposal. She point out that plaining for a new product is very important which will effect whole environment. Also she show the issues of global warming,sustainability and politics. Which it tells me as a industrial student/designer before designing a product we have to think about the environment first. always think is that necessary to make, how will that do after unused, can i make it environment friendly, sustainability and less harmful for people and the world. i think that is that is very important rule for being a successful designer.

Designing objects that tell stories



This is a amazing talk to me . It tells what is "value" . value is how things create and how things design. Yves Behar said that design is the glue of different values, a value for business ,users, functions and beauty. It means that the design that we create it influence greatly on the subjects of value there fore we have to consider what value is that before design.

In this talk Yves Behar mainly discusses the importance of the designer throughout the design process really pushing the importance of having good work ethics. He mentioned that designer's work can bring value to the users and the business. He also explains that when we give values to the product we also gives the product a soul and bring a "humanistic sense " to design. He use examples to tell more about what is "value" and how it affects design. also it shows his passion in design.

What i learned from this video is that before design an object we have to consider how we can reach a greater value of our product for business,users,function and beauty.
